This is an E-mail sent to David Ray and Myself from Tom Thomosons wife. He is in Marin General and Dave, Tony or I will check in with her mom later today.

David:

I just sent an e-mail to Terry with some bad news. Tom had a massive heart attack on Wednesday (3/31). Because they had to do an hour of CPR, they told me he probably wasn't going to make it. But he's strong and he's still here.

They did a triple by-pass, and he's doing better each day. He is not stable yet, but he took a big step yesterday. They took him off the balloon pump that was helping pump the blood in the heart. He still is on the ventilator and about 8 IVs. The nurse said he broke her record when he had 12 IVs. They've basically had him in a drug-induced coma. But now that the balloon pump is out, they're going to try to let him wake up over the next few days.
